<strong>The</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Century</strong> <strong>The</strong>ater<br />
“<strong>The</strong>ater you can afford to see —<br />
Plays you can’t afford to miss!”<br />
Now celebrating it’s 14th year<br />
Cofounded by, and under the Artistic Direction of ,CEO Jack Marshall, TACT is<br />
one of the region’s outstanding, award-winning, non–profit professional theaters.<br />
TACT performs on stages in Arlington and regionally, as well as sponsoring radio<br />
and touring productions, and special education and theater intern projects. TACT also<br />
seeks and produces new stage works about significant events, movements and figures<br />
in 20 th century through its “Robert L. McElwaine <strong>American</strong> Reflections Project”, an<br />
initiative designed to complement the company’s repertoire of important <strong>American</strong><br />
plays and musicals from the twentieth century. Stunt Girl and <strong>The</strong> Titans are the most<br />
recent examples.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Century</strong> <strong>The</strong>ater’s mission is to promote 20 th century theater as<br />
a vital part of our cultural dialogue. Our mission is based on the firm conviction<br />
that this theatrical repertoire — influential and critically acclaimed dramas,<br />
comedies, and teleplays first produced during what Henry Luce called the<br />
<strong>American</strong> <strong>Century</strong> — portrays a uniquely <strong>American</strong> vision that is vital to our<br />
shared cultural heritage. In today’s increasingly polarized society, finding this<br />
common ground has become essential.<br />
Our mission is also driven by the belief that theater should be accessible to<br />
all. For the mainstream audience today, the combination of prohibitive<br />
cost and adult-only themes makes it increasingly difficult to find appropriate<br />
theatergoing experiences for the entire family. We know this need not be the<br />
case, and that America’s finest theatrical works — written for a broad audience<br />
— contain significant themes and ideas that should be part of our collective<br />
wisdom as a nation.<br />
